TrekMovie.com: AXANAR Pushes Back in CBS/Paramount Lawsuit

(From TrekMovie.com, posted February 25, 2016) – The legal saga that has drawn the interest of both Star Trek fans and law scholars alike took another turn on Monday.

Axanar Productions, the production company owned by Alec Peters that plans on producing the fledgling fan film Axanar, responded to a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by CBS and Paramount Pictures over whether the film uses “innumerable copyrighted elements of Star Trek, including its settings, characters, species, and themes.” We reported on this back in December when the lawsuit was filed, and recommend you read that story before proceeding further.
